PETER K. DEDERIGK, OF LOUDONVILLE, NEW YORK.

BALING-PRESS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 333,999, dated January12,1886.

Application filed June 16, 1884. Serial No. 135,028. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PETER K. DEDERIOK, of Loudonville, county of Albany,and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Baling Presses, of which the following is a specification.

In a contemporaneous application filed by me (No. 180,448) I haveclaimed, broadly, the combination, with the reciprocating traverser of abaling-press, of a pitman connected thereto, a guide for controlling themovement of the outer end of the pitman, a vibratory horse lever orsweep, and intermediate connections between the horse-lever and pitmanfor causing the latter to approach and recede from a central line ordead-point twice or oftener at each movement of the horse-lever ineither direction, and have shown a variety of embodiments of suchgeneric invention, though I have not claimed the details of combinationsinvolved in any of said embodiments.

Thisapplication is intended to cover one of the several forms of thesaidgeneric invention.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a perspective view ofa portion of a continuous or perpetual press, showing the novel form ofpower device applied thereto. Figs. 2 and 3 are top plan views of thepower devices detached and in different positions; Figs. 4 and 4,respectively, side and top plan views of modifications of the powerdevices shown in Figs. 1 to 3.

Similar letters of reference in the several figures indicate the sameparts. i

The letter A indicates the traverser; B, a pitman connected at one endwith the traverser and near the other end by apin, F, to an arm or arms,0, that are in turn pivoted upon a bolt or shaft, E, secured to theframe of the press. D is ahorse lever or sweep, also pivoted upon saidshaft E. The end of the pitman, it will be noted, is cut away, so as toform shoulders or bearings 12 on opposite sides of the pin or pivot F,and the sides of the pitman are rounded or curved toward the saidshoulders or bearings, while the end of the horse lever or sweep isformed on opposite sides with the curved faces (I, terminating in acentral bearing, (1.

In full lines in Fig. 1 and in dotted lines, Fig. 3, the relativepositions of the horse-lever and pitman are shown at the commencement ofthe pressing operation. As the horse-lever is advanced, one of thecurved faces 01 of the horse-lever impinges upon the adjacent curvedside of the pitman, forcing the latter forward and inward toward thecentral line, the point of contact between said parts shifting graduallytoward their ends until finally the central bearing. 7), of thehorse-lever is projected between the shoulders or bearings b and engagesthe nearer one of the latter, as shown in full lines, Fig. 2. Atthe timethis position of the parts is reached the arms 0 and pitman are nearingthe central line or dead-point of the toggle, but before the latter isreached the central bearing, b, of the pitman passes off from theshoulder or bearing b, thus releasing the pitman and permitting theexpansion of the pressed material to throw the same back toward thepoint from whence it started and against the side of the horse-lever, asshown in dotted lines, Fig. 2. The continuation of the movement of thehorselever from this, point causes the pitman to be carried up to andacross the central line or dead-point and be projected on the oppositeside of the press in position to be again acted upon by the horseleverwhen reversed in the manner first described. The eiiect of thisarrangement of devices is to secure two reciprocations of the traverserat each complete continuous movement of the horse-lever from side toside.

In the modification shown in Figs. 4 and 4* the extended end of thepitman is grooved on opposite faces, as shown, for the passage of thebearings or shoulders on the bifurcated end of the horse-lever. Thesebearings or shoulders on the horse-lever rest against the extended endof the pitman, and as the horse-lever moves from one side to the otherthey are carried around said extended end, forcing the traverser forwarduntil its crank-arms are brought near the center line, when the saidbearings enter the grooves in the pitman and permit the latter to bethrown back to the starting-point, during which operation the extendedend of the pitman passes between the arms of the horse-lever. Themovement of the horse-lever being continued, the pitman is carried up toand across the center line, as before described.

I claim as my invention- 1. In a power device for presses, thecombination, with the traverser, of a pitman guided at its outer end ina curved path back and forth across the center line, and having shou1-ders or bearings atopposite sides of its outer end, and a vibratoryh0rse-lever provided with a central bearing for engaging the shouldersor bearings on the pitman, in the manner and for the purpose described.

2. In a power device for presses, the com- 10 bination, with thetraverser and its pitman having the two bearings or shoulders, of thelinks for guiding the outer end of the vpitman and the vibratoryhorse-lever provided with the central and side bearings, substantiallyas described.
